The role of the artist in our time has taken multifarious
forms. The contemporary artist is misunderstood by the average person, the
figurative artist not quite as appreciated as he used to be, and there are as
many tangents to add to the styles and practices of art as there are cultures
and people. This being said, most everyone expects the artist to reveal the
mysterious side of life not only social and political truths. The contemporary
artist seems more preoccupied by making people think instead of making them
feel. Science tells us it can explain everything, that there are no more
mysteries, only chemical combinations.

Suddenly, water is speaking to us! My practice since July
23 2013 is to photograph water as it creates complex and eloquent images in reaction
to its surroundings. I call this Emerge Art because the image emerges in the
water. As you can see with the sample studied here, the image transcends mere
refraction in water. I cannot explain it, but I can capture the phenomenon and
share it with the world.

When I put the bowl of water beside the book «Extrême:
Esthétiques de la limite dépassée» by Paul Ardenne, I observed that the images
had much more to say than I had at first imagined. Water appeared to have
discernment as it showed an appropriate reaction to the content of the book at
the page where it was open.

I don’t believe this is a supernatural event. I believe
our technology makes us able to see sides of reality we could not even imagine
before.

Those of a scientific bent argue that I Photoshop the
images. They are not wrong. It is because of our current technology that I can
alter the lighting of the photograph to reveal its hidden content. To capture
an Emerge Art, the photo must be taken without a flash. This makes for a dull
image. As I bring light to it, it morphs into an Emerge Art. I do not create
the content I underline it.

It is important to me that people understand this process
because it reveals a never before documented facet of the physics of our world
and the Spirit of our world.

To verify the potential for discernment that water could
possess, I put my bowl of water beside the biographical book: NAPOLEONan
intimate account of the years of supremacy 1800-1814 produced and edited by
PROCTOR PATTERSON JONES. I took hundreds of pictures. The one here is among the
last 4 images I shot that day. We can clearly see a profile that resembles the
features of Napoleon Bonaparte with uncanny accuracy: the aquiline nose with
the slightest bump, the well-drawn lips, and the deep brown eyes. In the water,
the face appears like a mask. Inside the mask appears a tiny ghostly head. On
the lips there is the head of a vulture emerging. The water appears to be
telling me that Napoleon is dead.

3 huge black banners with large white smiley faces greet us in the lobby of the 451 St-Jean Street building of DHC/ART. While the gallery is composed of sumptuous rooms, there is regret that the banners are set there. We need to turn and lift our heads to grasp the size and import of the piece in the rather tight space of the entrance. The new curator at the gallery, CHERYL SIM, did well to inform us, once on the fourth floor, that we could look back down on the installation from the mezzanine. From this vantage point, we understand the object’s symbolic meaning. These innocuous banners, the recurrence of Nazi symbolisms, including the hooded figures that remind us of the infamous KKK movement, are some of the ways the artists depict pure evil. The title of the banner installation is after all «World Peace through World Domination, 2013».

The theme and disposition of the exhibition is that of a slow descent into hell. The notorious dioramas evoke all the horror of the end of the Second World War with miniature figurines involved in murder and mayhem. There are the Nazis committing atrocities, decapitated and piled up bodies, and RonaldMacDonald either standing in as the Fuehrer/ Big Business, or crucified to recall religious tyranny. As you move up from floor to floor you will see many paintings in the exhibition and these are beautifully crafted. The subject matter of the sculptures may be a bit gruesome but the execution is excellent. The life size installations wearing the Conical Hats add an intriguing dimension to the walk through the exhibition. The characters look alive, yet they are always oblivious to us as we past by them. They remind me of how we imagine God as He looks down on our lives, yet He is always hidden from us. We ask God why does He let war happen? And war never stops.

The duo of JAKE & DINOS CHAPMAN is so symbiotic I was curious about how they set out to work on the various pieces. They shared with me that they both worked on all the pieces in a random way with no preparations. That is quite astonishing when you experience the complex and detailed execution of the works. If the subject matter is disquieting it is still presented with a lot of coherence.

The show winds down in the second space of the gallery, at 465 St-Jean Street. Here the questions are even more morbid as the artists address death on a personal level with an exquisite series of 21 delicate drawings entitled «What Really Happens To Us After We’re Dead?2012» You will see more dioramas, a cinema installation, a large room with a complex installation of mixed media reminding us of an after blast situation rich with many details to pay attention to if you want to get the gist of the artists humor. As I was about to leave I thought to myself: Not much optimism here. Then I noticed in one of the dioramas 3 tiny vultures perched on trees waiting for the calmer moment when their feast will begin.

In terms of social commentary, the work tells us of the current tendency to a state of amorality in contemporary fields of endeavor whether they are business, science, politics or art. There is no shame in doing “sinful” things anymore if there is profit to be made, or for the sake of winning the game. Hypocrisy is a way of life so prevalent, it is sometimes not even disguised. Examples of this kind of practice abound in all areas associated with the conflict between protecting the ecology versus the need for energy sources. None of the players involved seem capable of finding that balanced edge where we could keep our world alive while enjoying her gifts. These artists embrace these flaws of society to illustrate their dire consequences. In the end, they use laughter to come to terms with issues that so far confound all of us.

Before I go on telling you how much I enjoyed this movie and why, let me remind you that it is a COMIC BOOK that comes to life for us, not a work of literature. Like all great Comic Books, this one has handsome heroes, well-built, sleek, with super-powers. Also, almost invincible evil enemies out to destroy the world!

CHRIS EVANS in the role of Steve Rogers AKA Captain America is right on the mark with his American good looks, smile, and superbly sculpted physique. He has come back to life in the future and, as he readjusts to his new time frame, finds himself involved in a confrontation with the Winter Soldier played by SEBASTIAN STAN. This character is intense, focused, hard hitting. But there is the mystery of who he is? where does he come from? who is he working for?

The drama unfolds with an excellent cast: SAMUEL JACKSON, ROBERT REDFORD, SCARLETT JOHANSSON, and SAM WILSON all part of exciting fight scenes that are very effective. I practice martial arts so I get chills when I see great fight scenes in a movie. Here the chills were phenomenal. The way the film makers cut the action scenes they combine the effect of the comic book with the motion of cinema. The result appears like a succession of cubist paintings unfolding at a very rapid pace. Combine that with the very successful 3D effect and it becomes a dazzling mind blowing show.
